VtM ST THE THREE CROSSES The iron cross is black as death and hard as human hate; T h e wooden cress is white and still and whispers us, “Too Late,” But the Red Cross sings of life and love and hearts regenerate. The iron cross is a boastful cross and marks the war-mad slave; T h e wooden cross is a dumb, dead cross and marks a shallow grave, But the Red Cross reaches out its arms to solace and to save. The iron cross is a kaiser’s cross and narrow is its clan; ThG wooden cross is a soldier’s cross and mourns its partisan, B u t the Red Cross is the Cross of One who served his fellowman. — Edmond Vance Cooke. Invest a dollar in Red Cross and cut happiness coupons the rest of the year. . E n joyable E v en in g The Tennis Club enjoyed a pleasant evening at the Estaca da hotel last night.

E stacada , O regon T hursday O ctober 30. 1919 S C H O O L N O TE S The lecture given in the High School Auditorium, Monday night by Gordon J. Taylor, prov ed a grand success. We are cer tain it was enjoyed by all who heard it. The High School made over $17.00 by the affair. STOP! LOOK! LISTEN! Last Saturday our gridiron stars walloped Benson Tech. 21-6 the game was one of many thrills. Benson got a touchdown in the first quarter but Estacada came back in the second half, and showed a style of fast play that completely baffled her opponents. The same proved that our men have the “stuff” if they only use it. There was a talk of a game Friday, to be played at Van couver, but Vancouver ccanelled it, leaving our manager the job of getting one before Friday. Humors are spreading about the Juniors starting their class play. Watch for further an nouncements. The Sophomores who for th . past week have been contesting against the Freshmen to see who could sell the largest number of tickets for the Taylor lecture, ended with the Sophs on top, having sold nearly tw ice as many tickets as their opponents. The losers will entertain the winners in the near future. The Freshman class is again the proud owner of a new mem ber (and man he is,) whose name happens to be Luke Ray mond. He is going out for foot ball and is being worked on the scrub line. It is hoped he will prove a good player as he has the necessary weight. Miss Morrison started hot lunches going at the High School this week and is surely making a grand success of it. Few think now of going home for lunch.

R ed Cross S eals “ The people of the state are responding with the enthusiasm and optimism so characteristic of Oregon people to the call of the Oregon Tuberculosis Association for assistance in its annual Red Cross Christmas seal sale to be held December 1, to 10, inclu sive,” said Floyd E. Dorris, field secretary of the Association, who is in charge of the campaign throughout the state. “Oregon has $44,260 to raise through the sale of the little Christmas stickers it is a big sum and will require the assist ance of every man, woman and child in the state, but 1 believe we will have it. ” H ym en eal Two well known young people put it over their relatives anfi friends by getting married last August 23rd at Hillsboro, and keeping the fact quiet until re cently. They are R. L. Starr and Violet Sarver. The bride has been going to school since the term opened which helped to camou flage the situation. It would now be in order for the Domestic Sci ence department to make a bride cake and serve a belated wed ding feast. The News extends congratulations and best wishes.

The window service flag this year has one more '•tripe than last year, Indicating three years of membership in lhe Ret! Cross. Can D em on strate at H om e Miss Marie Anthony the Home Demonstration agent for this county, can now practice what she preached, as she has recently taken a husband unto herself in Portland.
